Synopsis

jQuery 1.12.4 < 3.0.0 Cross-Site Scripting

Description

According to its self-reported version number, jQuery is at least 1.4.0 and prior to 1.12.0 or at least 1.12.4 and prior to 3.0.0-beta1. Therefore, it may be affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to cross-domain ajax request performed without the dataType.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to jQuery version 3.0.0 or later.
